That's some serious bullying right there. I hope Slafkovsky is going to recover mentally after having been put through such an ordeal.

Regardless of whether or not it's a wrist or God forbid, a concussion, I think they needed to notice what many of us have, which is that he hasn't been protecting himself out there.
I think they needed to address that in some way, and I think the fact that they rushed him into the NHL with that clearly being an issue can be dangerous to the player.
I know a lot of you didn't want to send him to Junior because it would be a waste and possibly hinder his development (since he'd just use his size to dominate instead of developing his hockey sense), but it seems keeping him in the NHL until he can learn to absorb a hit and keep his head up might be dangerous.
Thoughts?

I'm willing to bet they are being extra cautious this year especially with young guys regarding injuries.
They prbly also wanted him to watch a few games so this is a good opportunity for that. Two birds 1 stone.

Also apparently Pitlick wasn’t too happy being in the press box, so is a way to get him on the ice as well.

And is one of them pushing all the groupies away from the billet Westmount home.?There's many ways a 18 years old kid could injure his wrist
No pun intended?

Pitlick is a nothing burger. He wasn’t happy? Boohoo. GTFO. He’s a progress stopper to me. Never liked him.

Owen Beck will be the steal of the draft..Well the good news I guess is that Wright doesn't look much better in the early going.
But yeah, we need to come out of that draft with SOMETHING. Even if he's not quite what we hoped he at least has to be a 2nd liner or it's going to really suck for us.

Okay... for an 18 yr old kid, those legs are pretty big.........
My thought is, send him to the OHL for 1 year, play in WJC.
He can go pro next year whether that is AHL or NHL or a mix.
I think you should revise some basic mathematics on how to round out numbers. I'm much closer to 4k posts with 400 likes

He probably won't grow so much. Looks like the type to have a steady physique from 18 to 60. His father's shape hints at that.

He was practicing with the group today.
Before today he hadn't practiced with the group since the injury.
Edit: I trusted Grant Mckegg (rookie mistake) apparently he was wearing the red jerseys not the teal non contact ones.

I dont want slaf to do any of that to be honest. I would rather him finish checks, score and set up guys. Of course if he needs to defend himself then so be it. I dont want him looking for this. He will find takers.

Michel Therrien would bully players by swearing at them and blowing cigarette smoke in their faces, but at least he'd never cross the line and bully someone over tape like Gallagher did.
